Abstract

In order to achieve phytoremediation during agricultural production, it is essential to identify high genotypesyield that is able of accumulating many types of heavy metals not in the edible parts which have significantnutritional value but in the non-edible parts. This study conducted to estimate the heavy metal ATPases 5(HMA5), Phytochelatins synthase (PCs) and metallothionein 2 (MT2) genes expression in plant Vicia fabain response to an elevated concentration of copper and zinc in nutrient media. Using Quantitative RealTime PCR (RT-qPCR) technique, the results of hydroponic culture methods with high concentrations ofcopper (75 µMol / L) and high concentration of zinc (500 µ Mol / L) showed high expression level for thethree genes of Vicia faba plant compared with control. Established that the expression of the genes underthe influence of copper ion was higher than the expression under zinc ion influence. Besides that, geneexpression increased with increased exposure time to zinc ion, also in the case of copper ion exposure time,all genes expression slightly increases with increased exposure time. In response to excess copper and zinc,an increase in the expression of genes (HMA5, PCs and MT2) involved in plant protection, providing thepossibility of its transfer from the cytosol to the apoplast demonstrate that this plant might be useful forphytoremediation of moderately polluted areas with copper or zinc.

Abstract

Background: During the past twenty years, tetracycline resistance average has increased in Streptococcuspyogenes in many countries. Pneumococcal resistance to erythromycin and tetracycline is associated withthe insertion of the erm(B) into the transposons of the Tn916 family. To get datum that may be beneficial inresolving the diffusion of antimicrobial resistance, therefore, we can be specified antibiotic resistant genesand their corporation with mobile genetic elements. This study was proceed to explore the genetic regulationof Tn916-carrying tet(M) in clinical isolates of S.pyogenes . Methods: A twenty two of S.pyogenes isolateswere assemble from patients suffering from upper respiratory infection, and the susceptibility of theseisolates to tetracycline antibiotics was examined. Molecular detection of Tn916 was carried out by employcertain primers to amplify tet(M) gene in each isolates.Results: The results appeared that the resistance of the tetracycline group was 68.1%, 54.5%, 36.3% and31.8% for minocycline, tetracycline, oxytetracycline and doxycycline, respectively. Genetic analysis showedthat Tn916 was detected in eight of the S.pyogenes clinical isolates resistant to tetracycline. Conclusions:Our findings suggest that clinical isolates of S. pyogenes harboring a copy(s) of Tn916 conferring tetracyclineresistance. One possible explanation for resistance to tetracycline in these isolates is due to tet gene, whichwas most likely located on Tn916.

Abstract

In this study, the lumpy skin disease virus was isolated on the lamb testis cell culture for the first time inIraq. Forty skin nodules were collected from cows suspected with lumpy skin disease (LSD) in Baghdadgovernorate. Real-time PCR detected LSD virus in 100% of these skin nodules. After that, the lamb testiscell culture was prepared for virus isolation. The prepared samples (0.5 ml) were inoculated into preparedlamb testis cell culture. Cytopathic effects (CPE) of the virus have appeared after 24hr post-inoculation andcompleted within 72hr. The noticed CPE were cell rounding, aggregation of cells, syncytia formation, anddetached of the cells from the cell sheet. Fluids of lamb testis cell culture were examined by the real-timePCR to confirm that the observed CPE was due to the LSD virus. Cell culture fluids were positive by thereal-time PCR (100%). Real-time PCR was sensitive for the detection of the LSD virus DNA in skin nodules,and it was a suitable confirmatory diagnosis tool of the virus in the tissue culture fluid. Finally, the locallyisolated LSD virus in this study is valuable in future studies for making a vaccine to control the disease.

Abstract

High pathogenicity avian influenza subtype H5N8 viruses were detected in different areas in Iraq at thelast 2017 and early 2018 and 2019 and the disease was detected clinically. This disease is responsible forhigh economic losses for poultry industry and threat human health, so that, this study was conducted formolecular detection, characterization and phylogenic analysis of avian influenza in Iraq. AI subtype H5N8 isan infectious disease primarily in birds and responsible for severe respiratory illness which associated witha high percentage of morbidity and mortality in wild and domestic birds. During this study one hundred fiftydifferent samples including (trachea, larynx and lung) were collected from different areas of broiler chickenfrom Baghdad and its surrounding regions during winter 2019. Avian influenza virus subtype H5N8 wasdetected by using real time RT-PCR technique, and specific kits (KyltR Germany) for AIV subtypes H5 andN8 were used respectively. The results revealed that (15) samples out of (150) collected samples were gavepositive results for avian influenza H5 these positive samples were prepared for a second step of detectionby RT-PCR test specific for N8 subtype the results revealed that only (12) out of (15) tested samples werepositive for H5N8 (8%).Genetic sequencing of isolates and phylogenic analysis of three selected isolates of(H5N8) bellowing to different areas indicate that all strains bellowing to H5 class (2.3.4.4) high pathogenicavian influenza revealed that they are closely related to Egyptian strain (A/ duck/ Egypt/ F446/2017.H5N8-MH893737.1) (with 97.6% identity). Analysis of the mono-basic amino acid (PQIEPR / GLF) atthe hemagglutinin cleavage site revealed there is no deletion of the stalk region with the neuraminidaseindicated that the isolates is a typical HPAI strain (A / duck / Egypt / F446/2017). The similarity of thenucleotide sequence analysis of hemagglutinin gene revealed that there was a high homology (97.6%) to thatof A/duck/Egypt/F446/2017 H5N8 .

Abstract

In this study, the prevalence of diverse bovine papilloma viruses in cutaneous lesions was investigated in Iraqicows. Fourteen specimens were taken from udder growths of Iraqi dairy cows, which demonstrated rice grain-likeand small, raised flesh-like appearance. DNA was extracted from the teat wart samples, then was amplified by thepolymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers against BPV-10 (403 bp) and BPV-11 (560 bp). PCR results revealedmixed infections of BPV-10 and BPV -11 in four samples, while the remaining ten samples were infected with BPV10 only. These findings demonstrate the presence of bovine papillomaviruses 10 and 11 in rice grain-like cutaneouslesions on the teats of cows and multiple elevated growths on udder. The detection and report of the BPV-10 andBPV -11 genotypes in the current study is for first time in Iraq, which are known in the Middle East region, are crucialfor disease control measurements.
